Leave it to SportsByBrooks. The “sports” site most famous for it’s copious pictures of the … uh … gifted SportsByBrooks girls has dug up a pretty compelling video of the rarest of species, an attractive female Duke student/fan. Now, I’m sure that statement will upset some folks, but just watch the video. The young lady…
For those of us still licking our wounds after a second consecutive ACC-free Final Four, Barry Jacob’s article today at the DBR is a soothing salve. He looks back the FF since 1985, when the tournament expanded to 64 teams. And for those who say that 1985 is probably an arbitrary year picked to make…
Did you see the 60-foot shot Rasheed Wallace hit the other night to send the game to overtime? Pretty impressive. But if you’d seen this video of Sheed performing trick shots at practice, you might not have been too surprised. It’s crazy just how coordinated and skilled this guy is. And he’s 6’11”! That’s just…
What is it with coaches’ sons? Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid had to take a leave of absence to deal with his two sons’ malfeasance and now NC State coach Sidney Lowe’s son was arrested and charged with involvement in at least two armed incidents. Now, Sidney Lowe played a while in the NBA. He…
Remember Byron Mouton? Starting guard on the 2002 national champion Maryland Terrapins? Essayist and Cadillac owner? Well, the Washington Post found him playing for the Wilmington Sea Dogs of the ABA. It’s an interesting and somewhat sad read. Mouton’s played all over the world, trying to keep alive the hope that basketball can someday make…
If you missed the Division II Championship on Saturday (and I did), then you have to watch this video of the last 45 seconds. Hell, if you watched the game, click that link to enjoy it again. It’s one of the most amazing sequences of basketball I’ve ever seen. If you don’t know the story,…
Tough loss for the Tar Heels yesterday. Brutal. All year, I’ve maintained that I thought this squad was a year away. They were too young and too prone to lapses in concentration, intensity and/or judgment. Still, I hoped that they’d get it together enough or maybe just “talent” their way to the Final Four. It…
Earlier today I was thinking about one of the articles I want to write after the season is over. I was thinking about Duke’s team next year, with everyone returning and three McDonald’s All-Americans coming in. Josh McRoberts didn’t live up to preseason expectations, but if you ignore his high school accolades, he still has…
.. or at least you can be in a few minutes. I’ve done so many of these shows in the past couple of weeks that I almost forgot to put out notice for this one. I’m back on Grant Thompson’s Sports Pulse show today at 2:30 (about 15 minutes from now!) Once again, the snazzy…
